The Red Tower

Concept Design / Design Development Residential

The Red Tower, a 42-story residential building in Al Majaz district along the Sharjah Khaled Lagoon waterfront, consists of five projections configured to maximize and negotiate views within its compact urban setting. The design operates along two primary premises. One is the maximization of views out to the waterfront. The slender form is driven via the maximization of occupancy along the elevation facing the lagoon. The oblique projections direct views toward the best orientations on the upper levels and allow the lower units to have better vantage points in relation to the surrounding buildings - avoiding the narrow window to window relationship common within its urban context.
